THE app for bringing your prayer life to a deeper level!

I have used this app (full version) for years and just when they add features to make our prayer life more rich, they come up with something to enhance it even more!

Thank you to the developers for giving the Body of Christ such a wonderful gift to allow us to “remain in Christ” through the liturgy and other rich avenues of prayer.

Highly recommended.

Very pleased

This splendid app is being improved quite regularly. As a priest I celebrate the Divine Office daily and rely on Universalis when traveling or not in my chapel. I find the new addition of the spoken gospel to be good for preparing a sermon or meditating. The extended readings to give the daily gospel its context is another excellent addition. I do wish we had more hymn choice but I know this is difficult to procure between copyrights and fees.

The App to better yourself.

This app I truly enjoy, this app is a helper to prepare a person to mass or to guide someone in the liturgy of the hours, not only that, the calendar is specific and shows you the importance of that day. It has the masses readings, order of mass, and mass today, which is an entire mass. This app has helped me a lot and I'm sure it can help you too.
